her heart throbbed in her throat, the corners of her eyes stung but no tears fell and words were suddenly nonexistent to her tongue. she couldn’t think of anything else but how big he was, he was so big. his face was round and soft, not yet hard- ened or defined by the world he lived in but not much could she say about him inside. she recalled how she held him in her ar- ms and how he slotted so perfectly in the crook of her arm, just under where her heart was, the only time she had honestly felt peace....
her hand comes to her mouth, to quell the emotions that threate ned to spill and rivulets of tears to wet her face like the day she let him go. despite herself, she inhales through her nose, her eyes shut as she did and reopens them, a warm smile coming lifting her lips and seeming to light it up, her eyes tender and worn and she crouches to her hunches, matching his height.
